Karn Sharma to Tristan Stubbs
OUT! CAUGHT! DC slipping down a mire now! Well, as per the new IPL rules, the fielding side is allowed to change the ball after the 11th over in the second innings, if the ball has got very wet, subject to the discretion of the umpire. In this case, the umpire agreed to the change in ball and the dry ball has done its trick! Floated, around middle and off, Stubbs looks to go downtown but is beaten in flight. Miscues it towards long on where Naman Dhir makes no mistake. Stubbs departs for 1 (4) and from 119/1, Delhi Capitals have slipped down to 145/5! 61 still needed from 39 balls!

Mitchell Santner to KL Rahul
Excellent work by Will Jacks! Short, outside off, KL Rahul rocks back and punches it through the covers. Jacks races across to his right from sweeper and slides across to stop the ball. Two runs taken. Or saved. Whichever way you look at it.

Karn Sharma to KL Rahul
OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Is that the game for MI? Karn Sharma has probably got the biggest wicket of the night. Tossed up, around off, Rahul looks to go big with a slog sweep but is not to the pitch of the ball. Only manages a top edge which is accepted gleefully by the bowler. Rahul departs for 15 (13) and from 119/1, Delhi Capitals have slipped to 160/6! 46 more needed from 27 balls.

Karn Sharma to Vipraj Nigam
Wide! Sprays it down leg, on a nagging length, Nigam swings to get this one away on the leg side but misses.

Karn Sharma to Vipraj Nigam
Almost another wicket for MI! Slower through the air and it is on the shorter side, Vipraj presses on the back foot and tries to go back over the bowler's head. He is early into the shot and gets it off the toe end of the bat. It goes low down the deck where Karn dives to his right and the ball deflects off the hand towards the stumps at the bowling end. Ashutosh Sharma is backing up a bit too far at the bowling end and tries to plonk his right leg inside the crease. Luckily for him, the ball does not hit the stumps as he was struggling to make his ground.

Trent Boult to Vipraj Nigam
Direct hit would have had Ashutosh! Fuller length, outside off, Vipraj Nigam pushed it towards cover and set off for a single. It was a risky call as the ball went straight to Naman Dhir. Naman charged onto the ball, took aim and fired a throw at the striker's end. Ashutosh had given up. Luckily for him, the throw missed the stumps.

Trent Boult to Vipraj Nigam
Oh, not that far away from the leg pole! Boult keeps it very full from over the wicket, Nigam walks across his stumps and attempts the scoop but misses. Vipraj feels that it should be a wide and he has taken the review. The replays show that had Nigam not made the shuffle across the stumps and had he been in his normal standing position, it would have hit him on the pad. The on-field decision is upheld. So far, so good from Boult. Just 2 runs off the over so far. Can Boult finish well?

1
Trent Boult to Vipraj Nigam
Yes, he can! Just 3 runs off the over. Excellent stuff from the Kiwi. Nails a full delivery, on middle, Vipraj cannot get under the ball and can only hit this one along the ground to mid off. Hardik Pandya has a shy at the bowling end but misses and Nigam was struggling. Delhi Capitals need 39 runs from 18 balls.

FOUR! In the air, but in the gap! Full, wide outside off, Vipraj reaches out and carves it in the gap between backward point and cover-point! 29 more needed from 16 balls.

Mitchell Santner to Vipraj Nigam
OUT! STUMPED! Mitchell Santner gets his revenge! Or does he? Vipraj Nigam has been asked to wait as the third umpire is called into action to check whether Ryan Rickelton collected the ball in the line of the stumps. That is not the case and Nigam has been given the marching orders. Cleverly bowled by Santner, slows it down and drags the length back, expecting Vipraj to give him the charge. It is well wide on off too, Nigam is nowhere near the pitch of the ball and swings with a flat bat. The ball spins past him and Rickelton does the rest.

Mitchell Santner to Mitchell Starc
Wide! Pushed beyond the wide tramline on off, Starc lets it be. Wide given.

Mitchell Santner to Mitchell Starc
'Catch it' is the call, but the ball drops well short! With a flatter trajectory, on off, on a nagging length, Starc slaps it on the bounce to long on for a single.

Mitchell Santner to Ashutosh Sharma
Fuller and quicker, on off, Ashutosh Sharma thumps it on the bounce to long off for just a single. Good comeback by Santner after conceding 10 runs in the first 2 balls. The over ends up going for 15 and it resulted in the wicket of Nigam. The Capitals require 23 runs from 12 balls.

Jasprit Bumrah to Ashutosh Sharma
Full, tailing down the leg side, Ashutosh Sharma is late to get his bat down and ekes out an inside edge between his legs towards Trent Boult at fine leg. Does not take the single.

Jasprit Bumrah to Ashutosh Sharma
FOUR! Brave shot! A full toss, around middle, Ashutosh brings out his reverse shot and ramps it over short third, for a boundary! 19 more needed from 10 balls.

Jasprit Bumrah to Ashutosh Sharma
EDGED, FOUR MORE! Nearly a perfect yorker from Bumrah, around off, but somehow, Ashutosh Sharma manages to get his bat down in time. Goes hard at the ball, aiming the cover region but gets a thick outside edge which races to the left of short third!

Jasprit Bumrah to Ashutosh Sharma
OUT! RUN OUT! Ashutosh Sharma is gone and this is a body blow to the Capitals! Bowled from wide of the crease on the over-the-wicket angle and the yorker is executed to perfection from Bumrah, on off, Ashutosh squeezes it out to the left of deep point. Will Jacks gets to the ball quickly and is quick to release the throw on the bounce at the batting end. Sharma completes the first one and while returning for the second run, he has to run around Bumrah and that results in him having to cover more distance. Sharma puts the dive in and Ryan Rickelton whips the bails off. The third umpire checks and it is confirmed that Ashutosh is short despite the dive.

Jasprit Bumrah to Kuldeep Yadav
OUT! RUN OUT! Another run out! From around the wicket, on a length, on middle, Kuldeep flicks it to the left of long on and comes charging back for the second run. The substitute fielder, Raj Angad Bawa covers good ground in the deep and picks it up cleanly. Fires in a throw at the batting end and the keeper, Ryan Rickelton gets up to the stumps to collect the throw. Kuldeep is struggling to complete the second run and puts in a desperate dive to make his ground. Ryan whips the bails off and Kuldeep is found short of his crease. The third umpire gives the confirmation and DC are now 9 down.

Jasprit Bumrah to Mohit Sharma
OUT! THREE RUN OUTS IN A ROW! Would you believe it? Agony for the Delhi Capitals. Absolute ecstasy for the Mumbai Indians. Coming to the delivery, this is full and at the stumps, Mohit tucks it towards mid-wicket and the batters set off for the run. It is hit straight to Mitchell Santner there at mid-wicket. The Kiwi gathers it and knocks the stumps down at the bowling end with Mohit well short of his crease. MI clinch this thriller by 12 runs!
